How To Make Easter Cookie Cake

Step 1. Set the oven to 350 degrees and use baking spray to grease a springform pan. Add the butter and sugar into a standing mixer and combine until light and fluffy. Put in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and combine again. Add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cornstarch into a medium bowl and combine using a whisk. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet gradually until a dough forms. Put in the candy and sprinkles and mix to combine. Place into the prepared pan using a rubber spatula. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cookie is golden brown on top. Allow it to cool while you prepare the frosting.

Step 2. Add the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream into a standing mixer and combine until stiff with peaks. Scoop into a piping bag. Remove the cake from the springform pan and place it on a serving platter. Pipe the prepared vanilla frosting along the edges of the cake and add more sprinkles on top. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
